Hi, I'm Lindsay! Empowering the next generation of designers by teaching how to grow their creative confidence and technical skillset is a full time passion of mine. With over 16 years of experience teaching surface pattern and textile design, I currently serve as a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, one of the most prestigious design schools in the world.
While a professor at FIT, I am also a full time surface pattern designer. Over the years I've had the joy of teaching hundreds of designers everything from foundational design basics to technically intricate processes — and I'm proud to say I've had a high success rate of happy, capable students. My favorite moment is that face — the one a student makes when something clicks, when they realize that they just learned something new and they can do this!
I believe creativity isn't reserved for a select few — it belongs to everyone. That's why I'm so excited to bring my classes to ClassBento. Whether you think you're "artistic" or not, you have something worth expressing — and I'm here to help you get it out!
Starting with my collage course is a fun, accessible, no-experience-needed technique for organizing thoughts, sparking ideas, and making your thoughts visible. Of course, that's just the beginning. Classes in Adobe Illustrator and surface pattern design are coming soon, so stay tuned for more ways to level up your creative game.
Come learn something new with me!
